<p>I have a quick question about the PRT. If I am not mistaken, it consists of 2 minutes of push ups, 2 minutes of sit ups, a 1.5 mile run, and a sit and reach test.
What happens if you fail one section but can pass, and even max out, the others? My hamstrings are like iron, and I can only reach a few (4 or 5) inches past my knees. However, I can max the run and the sit ups, and come close to maxing on the push ups. Does this count for something, or is failing in one area failing the whole thing?</p>
<p>If you fail one section, you fail the entire PRT.</p>
<p>failing the sit reach thing isnt a huge deal. there are several kids i know who can max out everything but have trouble with the sit reach. basically they get put on a “remediation” program where if they fail it multiple times they get in trouble. its not that hard to become more flexible, you just need to work on it</p>
<p>you will quickly learn at USNA that it “all” counts-
no matter what you are talking about, be it PRT, grades, athletics, band… </p>
<p>consider taking up yoga-
our son faced the same issue, and yoga went a long way to limber him up!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I already know the answer to this question but is there yoga at the Academy? Or will the remediation program focus on my inability to pass the sit and reach or will they also make me do the other stuff as well?</p>
<p>^^^^ not sure about formalized classes, but it would not surprise me.</p>
<p>My mid and his roomates were hijacked by some female mids that pulled them in to yoga- and it helped! Or could it have been the other girls that pulled him into pilates… hmmmm…</p>
<p>sure as heck it was not the P90 tapes!!!</p>
<p>Dont worry about the sit and reach. If you can at least swing yourself far enough to touch your shoes, it’s good enough for government work.</p>
<p>“good enough for government work”</p>
<p>You’re the man.</p>
